Solution

The correct option is D Ductility
To be used in electrical wiring, a metal should be ductile and a good conductor of electricity. Copper metal possesses both these properties, and thus, is widely used in household wiring.
It is also a good thermal conductor and is malleable, but these properties are not applicable for electrical wiring.
